Sinqinq (ilhik Jh q ii)okh In the Foreign Language Department students have the opportunity of learning Spanish, Latin, or French. Learning to say “goodbye in Latin, Spanish and French may be easily acquired, but learning to speak the language fluently and to understand what is said is a hard task. The J. H. S. Language Department has tried to make the course more enjoyable to the student by enlightening him with characteristics of the people whose lan- guage they have been learning. Another interest that enters in the language course is the singing of songs in the language studied. As the year progresses the student is required to have a class project which deals with his language. And as the school year closes the student will look back to the days at the “Old Grind and he will remember nothing but pleasant memories.

OuA tfuLtwial Subj ctA Our cultural subjects make up the Fine Arts Department. Art, Music, Dramatics, and Journalism help provide the necessary culture for all students attending our school. Mrs. Madge Rose teaches us that Art is a subject of concentration and ideas. Johnstown High School has received many awards for its fine artistic work. Music also demands power of concentration in order to produce. Miss Mary Weaver teaches her students to appreciate the value of music by conducting a fine chorus that entertains us on special occasions. Miss Edith Paul has given us the honor of seeing many of the fine plays she has pre- sented through the National Thespians. All of the students participating in this organiza- tion have shown that they have an outstanding talent. Miss Elvina Owen, journalism instructor, advises editors of the yearbook and the Centralizer as to the best way to express oneself. The teaching of creative writing and newspaper writing make up the course.

(2 (Bsdi h JomoJUww JhJwiiqh IWathsimahcA Mathematics is the key to many of our accomplishments in this day and age of guided missiles, destructive bombs, and planes flying faster than sound and shrinking our precious world. In our homes, mathematics is the key to the many helpful mechanisms and medicines that provide us a more comfort- able and happier living. We find that all these achievements could not be placed on the stage of our daily life, if the use of figures were eliminated. These brain projects of Man could not be invented, discovered and safely used without the analysis and induction of mathematics. As new methods and discoveries become necessary to meet the ever increasing demands of the changing world, men will administer the princi- ple of mathematics—when new inventions and new modes of life introduce new objects, numbers must be applied! Spanish Class has a good time.
